Just a sidenote here, that I mentioned in #guix irc channel the other
time. I tried to `guix pull` from the 0.11 USB installer, and it would
fail because some package couldn't be substituted,
module-import-compiled if I recall correctly.
Guix suggested as normal, that `--fallback` flag should be used, which
is a non-accepted flag for `guix pull`. I had to `guix system init
--fallback`, until that package was built, and then `guix pull`. Not
having run `guix pull`, building from source was failing anyway.
Is this intented behaviour, or something to be fixed?
Regards,
